X-T3vs GH5
GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Video, Street, Travel, Portrait — X-T3 (2018): The camera that proved APS-C could punch above full-frame on video.
Video, Filmmaking & Hybrid Shooting — GH5 (2017): The GH5 redefined what a consumer video camera could do — 4K/60p and 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording made it the independent filmmaker's tool of choice for years.
Who should buy what
X-T3 (2018)
